The only Austrians whose work contains insights that are relevant to the way real-world economies work are Lachmann and Schumpeter, and vulgar internet Austrians either never bother to read either or repudiate them as non-Austrians since they were not acolytes of the Mises/Hayek circle and since their theories largely conceive of economies in rather post-Keynesian terms, i.e. as dynamic disequilibrium systems.

Although I think Eugen Böhm von Bawerk's concept of 'spontaneous order' and his critique of Marx are also worth reading. Laughably, the standard vulgar internet Austrians usually haven't read him either. They just read the fallacies of Mises and Hayek, take them as holy writ, and don't bother reading anything that might challenge their anointed scriptures and their warped view of the way the world works.
